9 Z lmllllllllllv Inventor in Figs. 1 and 2 1 provide Application filet'lrtetobe: 1, 1908. S

snd useful Bicycle (Toaster-Broke Look, of i which the following is e. specili 'zstion.

' An object of this invention is to provide means for locking :1 coaster lfl'zlhi huh to he frame so that the bicycle cannot be up einled and trundled oil on the coaster or ho and the invention c nsists of the co with n. (ouster brake huh and rigid member extending: from ll adapted to be conncrted to the torlc f he '3 frame by a locking devire.

The accompanying drawings illustrnte the invention.

Figure 1 is a. flitgll'lLlliill': pers motive of n coaster bra-lie hub locked lo he f rk in 21.0- (rordnnce with the principles oi in i' invc-nl ion. Fig. 2 is nsido elevation of the attachment shown in Fig. l removed from the hub. Fig. 3 1s a side elevation analogous to Fig. and

showing :1 inodilied coi'istrnction. Fig. i is an edge View as seen in the direction indicated by the arrow 4 in Fig. 2%. F 5 is n fragmentary perspective analogous to Fig: l, and showing it third modification. Fig. 6 is s perspective of the all ncln'nent removed from the hub and showing nil-other form of eye.

in coaster-brake bieyelres, lopliing the podals or dri\-'ing-ohnin does not lock the toaster brake wheel, and it the coaster broke wheel is not looked the bicycle may be trundled oil on the coaster broke wheel. in the form shown thesplit clamping portions 2 and i1 adjust-ably secured together by the bolt nnd prcwiding the eye 5; said portions 2 and 3 he: ing the eye 5 serving as the rigid member to be loolcod to the frame. The split ring 1 is applied'to the end of the hub 6 and clin'nped ri, dly upon the hub by the bolt i; the end of mid bolt being'riveted so that he clamping nit nber will be absolutely rigid and permanent upon the hub. in the form shown in Fig. (5 the members 2 and 3 are transversely peril rated to form the eye 5.

a split ring 1 having i l l 1 i i June :22, 1909.

Any snitzihle locking device, as the look 7, inn-y he used to ronnert the rigid member to the fork J; of the ritnno. in the form shown in Fig. 3 the split ring; is formed in two parts oonnocled together by the hinge 9. In the torn: shown in l :3 the rigid member 10 having; the eye ll is fornnwl integral with. the hub l5.

l have down several ways of applying my inventii and ii; is obvious that the dot ils ot (:onstrwruon only be varied in many other vsitlnmt d. 1 rting from the spirit of my invei'il-ion.

it is obviou that when the waster brake huh lo: *d to the Home that the bicycle 2 iii ho wt are trundleil upon the coaster iii-sin.- win-oi.

i chiini: M

l. The cmnbiniition with s coaster brake hub and tonne, o? nioans forming an eye rigid with the huh, and :1. yndlool'; encircling the frame end engaging the eye.

The combination with n coaster-brake hub nnd frame, of 5m nttnclunent forming on eye rigid with the hub, so that ii padlock may embrace the lrsnio and connect with the eye for locking the hub against rotation.

3. in s coaster broke bioyclo, ti a, combine tion with the coaster brake hub, of 9. split ring having split chnnping portions, means to secure said portions together, thereby providing on eye, and means to lock said eye to the bicycle rnme.

4. In s coaster brake bicycle, the combinetlon with the coaster broke hub, of a split ring hinged together and having s lilit ehnnping portions. a bolt to secure Silll ohnnping portions together, and n pinlloolc through the eye to connect the some with the bicycle frame.

in testimony whereof, my hand Los Ange es, day of September .1908.
